You'll have to test this for yourself, given your own server, database, user load, email size, and other configuration parameters. DBMail is NOT a one-size-fits-all system; it scales, but you have to help it scale. > 3) How many threads does the DBMail imap server create?

The numbers for each of your questions is configurable. You can specify a minimum number of processes, a maximum number of processes, and a maximum number of idle processes. The child processes are stopped and started to fit these parameters. > 4) Is it possible to have multiple connections to the same mailbox? Yes. Aaron
